A club website — members, events and donations in one place

We build professional websites, apps, online shops and custom systems — with the quality of big agencies but without their overhead. Specialised in Germany's small and medium businesses.

Clubs & Associations — A club website — members, events and donations in one place

In short

A club/association website starts at €499 net — with events, news, member info and an optional donation or membership-application form. We offer reduced rates for registered non-profit associations.

A club runs on people who show up — but admin often eats exactly the time that should belong to the club itself. A well-built club website pulls members, events, donations and news into one place instead of scattering everything across WhatsApp groups, mailing lists and notice boards. That is precisely what Rhein Code in Düsseldorf builds for clubs and associations across Germany.

Whether you run a sports club, a cultural association, a supporters' club or a non-profit initiative, the needs rhyme: the board wants to inform fast, attract new members and make donating easy, without anyone needing to be a tech expert. We deliver this at a fixed price from 499 € net, GDPR- and BFSG-compliant, hosted on servers in the EU.

You don't get a half-finished template — you get a site that fits your statutes and your everyday reality, and one you can maintain yourselves afterwards without calling us for every date change. Direct line to the developer instead of a hotline, in German, English or Arabic.

Typical challenges

  • Info and events don't reliably reach the members
  • Winning new members and donations is tedious
  • Nobody maintains the old club site anymore

What we build for your club

  • Events, news and photo galleries — easy to maintain yourself
  • Online membership application and contact form
  • Optional: donation form (PayPal/SEPA)
  • Mobile-optimised, low-barrier, GDPR-compliant

Clubs & Associations

What your website or solution delivers

Members area with login

A protected area where members access minutes, dates and internal documents. It cleanly separates public information from what belongs to members only — privacy-compliant, so not everyone sees everything.

Event and calendar system

Training, the annual general meeting, the summer party or rehearsal — every date in one place, with sign-up and reminders. Members see at a glance what is happening when, and the board maintains it in minutes.

Online donations and dues

Donations by bank transfer, PayPal or direct debit, straight through the site with no media break. Optionally with automatic donation receipts for non-profit clubs, so your supporters have it easy.

Online membership applications

A digital join form with SEPA mandate replaces the paperwork at the clubhouse. New members sign up around the clock, and their data arrives structured rather than on loose slips of paper.

News and club blog

Match reports, achievements, photos from the last event — editable in a simple editor with no HTML knowledge required. It keeps the site alive and regularly gives Google reasons to rank you better.

Gallery and club history

Photos and the club's story presented attractively, with notes on image rights and consent for photos of people. You show tradition and togetherness without walking into a privacy trap.

GDPR cookie banner and privacy

A legally sound cookie banner, privacy policy and imprint are included, not a surcharge. Especially for clubs involving minors, clean data protection is a duty, not a nice-to-have.

Multilingual and accessible

Available in German, English and Arabic on request, so international members stay included. Built to BFSG accessibility standards so genuinely everyone can use your site.

In practice

Real-world examples

A sports club that wants to bundle sign-ups

The club loses track of training sign-ups spread across five WhatsApp groups. With an online calendar and sign-up function, coaches instantly see who is coming and parents register their children themselves.

A supporters' club that wants to ease donating

The willingness to give is there, but handwritten transfer slips put many off. A donate button with an automatic receipt lowers the barrier and noticeably raises the amounts.

A cultural association that wants to win members

Interested people find the club at events, but nothing is discoverable online. A findable site with a join form turns curiosity into actual memberships.

A non-profit with a volunteer board

Nobody on the board is a tech professional, but the site has to run. After the briefing the board maintains news and events itself, without paying for every little change.

Rhein Code

Why Rhein Code for Clubs & Associations

Fixed price from 499 € net

Clubs budget from membership dues and the treasury — with us you know the cost up front. No open timesheet, no nasty surprises, all plus 19% VAT.

You own your site

Domain, code and content belong to the club, not to us. No lock-in, no restrictive contract — if you ever want to move, you take everything with you.

Self-maintainable after handover

After a short briefing you manage events, news and members yourselves. The board stays capable even when your tech-savvy secretary is unreachable.

Direct line to the developer

You talk to the person who builds the site, not a call centre. That saves explanations and ensures your wishes actually land.

GDPR and BFSG included

Data protection and accessibility are built in, not bolted on later. Volunteer boards in particular are shielded from legal pitfalls this way.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A club website starts at 499 € net, plus 19% VAT. We fix the exact price up front, depending on whether you need a members area, donation function or multiple languages. There are no hidden follow-up costs.

Yes. After a short briefing your board manages events, news and members independently. You need no programming skills, just a browser.
Is the site GDPR-compliant, even with minors?
Yes — a privacy policy, imprint and a legally sound cookie banner are included. For photos of children and member data we pay special attention to consent and data minimisation.
Can we accept donations online?
Yes, we integrate bank transfer, PayPal or direct debit, with automatic donation receipts on request. We make it as easy as possible for your supporters to give.
Do we really own the website in the end?
Yes, domain, content and code belong to the club. There is no lock-in: if you want to switch providers later, you take everything with you.
How long does it take to build?
A clear club website is usually online within two to four weeks, depending on how quickly you supply texts and photos. We agree the timeframe firmly right at the start.
Will we be found on Google?
We set the site up technically clean for Google and build in local SEO basics. Regular news and events help further, because they keep giving the site fresh content.
Does the site work on mobile?
Yes, every site is optimised for smartphone and tablet. Since many members check dates on the go, this is a given for us.
